🌱 OMC Power’s ₹4,000 Crore Bet on 1 GWp Green Infrastructure in Rural India

FEATURED

Key Announcement

  • ₹4,000 crore investment to build a 1,000 MWp (~1 GWp) renewable energy portfolio over the next 3–5 years, backed by Japanese investors Mitsui & Co. and Chubu Electric Power.

  • This marks a 10× scale-up, from the company’s current ~100 MWp operational capacity to the targeted 1 GWp

🎯 Sectoral Focus & Capacity Breakdown

OMC Power plans to deploy its new capacity across four strategic verticals:

  • Healthcare rooftop solar (600 MWp): Scaling from ~75 MWp today to support hospitals and medical institutions.

  • Telecom green energy (200 MWp): Supplying clean power to telecom towers, growing from 15 MWp current operations.

  • Rural smart grids (100 MWp): Expanding decentralized microgrid services, up from 10 MWp.

  • Solar EPC for MSME & C&I (100 MWp): Serving small and industrial clients, scaling up from 5 MWp

These projects will span across Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Assam, and northeastern states.

💸 Funding Strategy & Financial Turnaround

  • The programme will be financed via internal accruals, support from existing Japanese investors, and debt from financial institutions.

  • Notably, the firm turned profitable in Q1 FY 26 with a PAT of ₹0.48 crore, signaling a positive financial pivot

🌍 Why This Matters

  • OMC Power’s rural-centric deployment via solar mini-grids and distributed energy systems aims to expand access in areas with limited grid reach, aligning with national electrification and decarbonisation priorities.

  • The diversification across healthcare, telecom, rural electrification, and SME/C&I clients reflects a multi-pronged strategy to support both development impact and commercial sustainability.

🧭 Strategic Significance & Developmental Impact

  1. Massive scale-up: A leap from ~100 MWp to 1 GWp positions OMC as a significant player in India’s rural clean energy space.

  2. Sector-led modular design: Customised energy solutions for healthcare, telecom, industrial clients, and underserved villages.

  3. Focus on inclusive electrification: Prioritising energy access in weak-grid and off-grid environments, accelerating social and economic uplift.

  4. Impact-driven investment: Leveraging private, public and financial institution financing to blend viability-focused commercial strategy with rural development.
